Lawlicron 08-14-07, 12:19 AM	They can be raised but have no memory of the afterlife. They seem to be absent from the 'afterlife' although others can be found in the plane of existence in Eberron where souls go. So no, they kind of don't.
Frogmantis 08-14-07, 12:21 AM	hmm, strange. well, if I were to use them for any other campaign, where would they go when they die, if not one of the other planes?
Lawlicron 08-14-07, 12:24 AM	No where. That works. They stay in a 'dead' state inside their bodies until their 'systems' are brought back 'online' by the appropriate magical abilities.
KurenaiYami 08-14-07, 12:25 AM	That's about how I play it. Their souls simply don't exist until they are brought back.
Frogmantis 08-14-07, 12:29 AM	cool, i like it. so, in the case of, say a disintigration or implosion effect, where the remains are consumed, would that completely destroy the soul too?
KurenaiYami 08-14-07, 12:41 AM	No, that would make those spells far too powerful against Warforged.
Lawlicron 08-14-07, 12:47 AM	When you cast True Res it just brings them back. Basically from nowhere, possibly from a collective memory of the existence of things in the universe. Or possibly because thats what the spell does. It can be as deep or shallow as you want.
JulesCARV 08-14-07, 12:53 AM	Well, it's not surprising that they don't have memories of the afterlife. Unless I'm mistaken, most people don't have memories of the afterlife after being raised, and Dolurrh is noted for sapping people of their memories and identity. Now, on occassion people might remember their afterlives, but remember that House Cannith only made a few thousand warforged in the first place, they've only been around for about 37 years, and resurrection is almost never done in Eberron regardless, so it's unlikely that there's a large sample size here. If, throughout Eberron's thousands of years of history, say 1,000 humans have been raised from the dead, and 120 of them are recorded as having remembered something of the afterlife, while in the brief existence of the small numbers of warforged, three have been raised from the dead, and so far none of them have reported any memories of the afterlife, does that really mean that the afterlife of warforged can be safely assumed to be different from that of humans?

The reason its believed to be different is that you can go to Dolurrh when you aren't dead and there are no warforged there. Atleast I thought I read that in one of the books or something to that effect.
TiwazTyrsfist 08-14-07, 01:09 PM	Perhaps dead warforged don't look like warforged... I'm just saying.
lulzapalooza 08-14-07, 02:02 PM	this is why I don't like published campaign settings.
